Rush was sitting in the vehicle with a man who was shot in the left jaw and left arm. He was taken to UAB Hospital where he is expected to recover, Edwards said. Authorities have not released his name, but acquaintances say he is a local rapper.

Edwards said that detectives have learned that Rush and a female friend met the male at the location to make some kind of transaction. He didn't elaborate.

While they were sitting in the Yukon, a dark-colored SUV or truck pulled up next to the Yukon and fired several shots into the Yukon, hitting both rush and the man. The suspect vehicle fled in an unknown direction.

No arrests or motive have been announced. Edwards said they don't believe Rush was the intended target.

Rush is one of two people killed in overnight in the city. Early Saturday morning a man was shot to death at the Sun Inn motel on Bessemer Road, not far from where Rush was killed. Police said that deadly shooting stemmed from a dispute between two men and a suspect was taken into custody for questioning.

Anyone with information on Rush's death is asked to call Birmingham homicide detectives at 205-254-1764 or Crime Stoppers at 205-254-7777.
